SMOKING "DOLL.

Application filed November 3, 1921. Serial No. 512,591;

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MABEL H; SLATER, a citizen of the UnitedStates,residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York,have invented new and useful Improvements in Smoking Dolls, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to a toy consisting ofa smoking doll.

The object of the invention is to provide a doll, statuette or idolwhich be caused to emit smoke from the eyes, nose or mouth and whichalso may be utilized to form a holder for pill shaped particles known asdevils eggs which, when lighted, will expand and form horns or curls,thus providing an attractive and amusing article which,

when not in use as a smoking doll, may he used as an ornamental piece ofbric-a-brac or as apaper weight.

To these ends the invention consists in a smoking doll constructed ashereinafter described and particularly as pointed out in the claim.

Referring to the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my smoking doll.

Fig. 2 is a vertical, sectional elevation of the same.

Like numerals refer to like parts in the views of the drawings.

In the drawings, 5 is a head provided with eyes 6, nose 7, mouth 8 andneck 9. The neck 9 is substantially cylindrical and fits in acylindrical recess 10 formed in a base 11.

The base and the head are formed of noninflammablematerial. Passages oropenings 12 extend from the interior of the head through the-eyes to theoutside thereof. A.

passage 13 extends through the nose and a passage 1% extends through themouth. An inlet passage 15 extends from the outside of the base to thetop thereof at a point inside the head. A piece of inflammable material.16, such as tobacco incense is placed upon the base 11. It is thenlighted and the head 5 is inserted in the recess 10. Smoke will issuethrough the eyes, nose and mouth, the air for combustion entering thehead through the inlet passage 15. In the top of the head recessesl'l'are provided and in these recesses are placed pellets 18 known as devilseggs. These pellets upon being lighted will burn and expand formingcurls or horns 19.

I claim:

A smoking doll having in combination, a hollow head provided withopenings through the eyes, nose or mouth and a cylindrical neck portion,a base upon which said head is mounted, said base being provided in thetop thereof with a cylindrical recess adapted to receive said neckportion and also to receive an inflammable material, and position thesame within said cylindrical recess, said base being also provided withan inlet pas-' sage extending from the outside thereof into said recess,whereby upon lighting said material smoke may be caused to issue fromsaid nose, eyes or mouth.

. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
